PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF N-SUBSTITUTED PYRAZOLE COMPOUNDS

摘要

There is provided a process for preparing sulfinyl-pyrazole derivatives of formula (I) which comprises oxidizing substituted amino-4-mercapto-1H-pyrazole compound (II) with an oxidant in the absence of trifluoroperacetic acid. Hydrogen peroxide is a particularly preferred oxidant and is carried out in the presence of sodium tungstate and hydrochloric acid as catalyst.
